.30-06 fit to 8x57 Mauser chamber?
Would someone please try to chamber a .30-06 cartridge in an 8x75 Mauser chamber?
Was told that's what the Germans did in WWII when they found ammo from Garands. I tried that decades ago and it wouldn't fit; bolt would not close at all. Now someone's telling me they've done it. Thanks.

The 30-06's case headspace dimension is 2.0526" -(0.0070")
The 8x57mm's is 1.8768" -(0.0070) Can't get there from here -- the `06 is too long. (Re SAAMI spec drawings) |

I dont know if it will work or not. My guess is that it will due to the fact that the brass of the neck of the 06 has plenty of clearance to actually go inside the rifling of the 8mm. Headspace is not a problem because the Mauser Claw will hold well enough for firing pin hit. I have a milspec 8Mauser, but dont have any WWII Milspec 06 ammo laying around. In my mind the comparison would only be valid if done with the actual ammo the claim is based on. I plan on picking up some 06 ammo from CMP for my Garands. I will see if it works when I go get it in a few weeks.

A .30-06 bullet will fit into an 8mm barrel, but the whole cartridge won't. As stated above, the .30-06's 63mm long case will not allow the bolt to close in the 8mm Mauser's 57mm space.

Not that it is a surprise, but I jut tried a Greek HXP spent case (fired in my M1) in my 1941 K98k and no effing way. Bolt sticks about 1/4" short of closing.

Try a live round. The neck grew a lot on the 06 when the Garand fired it. At the least, run it through a small base die and then try it again.
That gives me an Idea. When I get to my shop Monday, I will size a piece of brass with a small base die and then see if it fits. |

No possible way. ^
The neck doesnt change that much when fired in a Garand in any event, but no amount of wanting or sizing will make an '06 round chamber in an 8mm chamber, unless you use an 8mm size die, then trim the neck waaaay back to 8mm length. The neck isnt the issue in any event, the body of the shell is quite a bit longer, as was mentioned several times. The whole premise of the story reminds me of the story I heard years ago,.. that the Vietnamese designed the 7.62x39 round to be able to use US 5.56 ammo if they ran out, but the Americans couldnt use 7.62x39 rounds in their M-16's. The entire story throws logic and history out the window. Logic, like the Vietnamese didnt design their cartridges, it was designed many years before the 5.56 existed,, that firing a 5.56 round in a 7.62x39 chamber would be a really bad idea for several reasons,..... (yes, a 5.56 will actually chamber, sort of)

Haven't heard that one.
But there was a guy on one of the boards who would tell you with a straight face that the 7.7 Arisaka was designed so a desperate Jap could force in a captured .30-06 round. |

I'd guess it was more likely they used the ammo in a captured rifle and that people assumed that because they shot "found" Amman, it was in their own guns, so the story got some legs.

Post-WW II re-chambering a Mauser to 8mm'06 was fairly common for reloaders. Made a $5 rifle very useful.

This is a variation of a story that I heard from relatives and people I knew, in fact I heard the same thing on "Car Talk" as a puzzler, that the Japanese purposely chambered their rifle with a bullet that was larger than ours. This was so that they could shoot captured American rounds in their rifles. Of course we could not chamber captured Japanese ammunition because the bullet was too big. Oh, how inscrutable the Orientals! This was 100% bogus. I took a 30-06 round and not only is it too long for the magazine of a Type 99 Arisaka, it is too long for the chamber. A 30-06 won't feed and chamber in either the 6.5 Arisaka or the 7.7 Arisaka. If you remember, the WW2 generation were forever proving the righteousness of their war, that the enemy was really, really evil, and that the Japanese had always been planning to fight a war of aggression against America. This is one of those stories that got bandied around by enough people that it gets accepted as fact, without anyone checking to see if it was true. Just like the idea that greased bullets dangerously raise pressures because grease pinches the case neck. So, how did the Swiss get away with greased bullets for over a century? Lets not debate that here, lets keep on the topic of 30-06's in 8 X 57 Mausers.

The neck size has nothing to do with it. It's the shoulder that's in the wrong place for a .30-06 round to chamber in an 8x57. It's not rocket science.

In some cases it may be possible to go the other way(8mm in a 30/06) but totally IMpossible for a 30/06 to chamber in an 8x57 chamber.

.30-'06 in 8mm Mauser? No way. 8mm Mauser in .30-'06? Maybe if tolerances work just right and a lot of force is used.
.30-'06 in 7.7 Jap? Again, no way. 7.7 Jap in .30-'06? Yep, I tried it. Not only fires but shows no excess pressure signs. The only result is a short neck case. Jim

Chambering a 8mm in a 30-06 could be done and as evident in these pictures, not advisable.
Especially if your rifle is one of those single heat treat 03's that have rotten gas handling characteristics and no margin of strength if anything goes wrong. Rifle # 73 153 blown up with German 8mm Mauser Rifle # 718 233 likely blown up with 8mm Mauser, the 8 mm cartridge found in rifle 73 153 is below the cartridge found in what is left of the chamber of 718 233. The note I have with this picture is 30-30 chambered in M98. Don't know how any one could do that.

Thanks to all for their comments and pictures.
My older brother brought back an 8x57 Mauser (BYF mfg. code; Oberndorf Mauser Factory, 1944) in excellent condition when he returned from the area in 1945. I remember him showing me how a .30-06 round would not chamber in it in the early 1950's when he was getting ready to rebarrel it to a .244 Rem. sporter. But after being told such chambering was common during WWII in the European campaigns, I thought I'd check it out by starting this thread. Gonna send a link for this thread to the guy who claimed 'twas done in Europe in the early 1940's.

Question of the day - Golden Horseshoe Awards
Tuesday, Dec 18, 2012 * The Golden Horseshoe for Best Democratic State Senator goes to Sen. Don Harmon… I couldn't agree more. Harmon is one of the most respected, hardest working legislators under the dome. We could use several dozen more like him. * Runner-up is Sen. Dan Kotowski… And for a guy who came out of the gun control movement, he has been a sober voice on this issue. Gov. Quinn ought to start listening to him. * Best Republican is Sen. Matt Murphy… Agreed. Murph can disagree without making permanent enemies. He is principled, yet is often willing to look for compromise. * Runner-up is Sen. Pam Althoff… We'd be better off with 58 more Althoff's in the Illinois Senate. * Let's expand today's category, which was created last year… I created the Millner designation for two reasons: 1) He most certainly deserves it; and 2) We have so many retiring members this year that we really needed separate categories for each chamber. As always, make sure to fully explain your nominations. Just writing in a name won't count. Also, do your very best to nominate winners in both chambers. Thanks.

Jonathan Weisman reports on the White House.
Martin Feldstein, a former chairman of Ronald Reagan's Council of Economic Advisers, has been tapped to head President Barack Obama's efforts to simplify a federal tax code the president this week called "monstrous," the Harvard University economist said Friday.
Former Federal Reserve Chairman Paul Volcker asked Mr. Feldstein to serve as coordinator of a four-person "tax group" within the President's Economic Recovery Advisory Board, Mr. Feldstein said. The other three include Laura Tyson of the University of California at Berkeley's Haas School of Business, former Securities and Exchange Commission chairman William Donaldson and former Federal Reserve Vice Chairman Roger Ferguson.
The group has a decidedly bipartisan pedigree. As its coordinator, Mr. Feldstein brings a long-held belief in the power of tax cuts to spur the economy. Ms. Tyson, an early top Clinton White House economist, helped craft the tax increases of the early 1990s. Mr. Donaldson, an investment banker, was appointed SEC chief by then-President George W. Bush, although he backed Mr. Obama in the presidential campaign. Mr. Ferguson, a Clinton appointee to the Fed, is now president and chief executive of TIAA-CREF, the giant teachers' pension fund.
The panel has been ordered to produce a book of tax simplification options by the end of the year, giving Mr. Obama yet another tall political order on top of a national health plan, a restructuring of financial regulations, lifting the nation from recession, ending the war in Iraq and beating back the resurgent Taliban in Afghanistan , and possibly even an overhaul of immigration laws. That has led some tax analysts to dismiss the seriousness of the venture.
But Mr. Feldstein said the group is setting up meetings with key tax luminaries in Washington for next month, when the Economic Recovery Board is set to have its first meeting.

Bacterial and fungal pathogens are of major concern, a concern that is growing with the evolution of "super bugs". This is in part due to new resistance to previously effective antibiotics, and in part because medical conditions where the immune system is compromised have become more commonplace.
As molecular biologists, we are working to understand the molecular basis by which bacterial and fungal pathogens interact with their human hosts. We are particularly interested in hospital-acquired pathogens and antibiotic-resistant super bugs. We use combined approaches of molecular genetics, cellular imaging, biochemical analysis and bioinformatics to dissect these relationships. We take a 'Systems Biology' view towards understanding the interaction, recognizing that both microbe and host are complex cellular systems and that each responds in multiple ways to the presence of the other.
The Unit consists of seven closely linked research teams in the Department of Microbiology and the Department of Biochemistry & Molecular Biology. We collaborate with other expert teams in Australia and around the world.
The Host-Pathogen Molecular Biology Unit
The Unit's seven research teams are lead by:

In Indonesia: Keeping Trucks Moving
April 23, 2008
In Indonesia, we've all heard stories about trucks being stopped by police, thugs and sometimes government officials, extracting payments, but it was hard to know the extent of the problem, exactly how much was being paid, to whom and where. The only way to do that was to ride some trucks.
With the support of The Asia Foundation, a team of researchers from the University of Indonesia's Institute for Economic and Social Research (LPEM) sat in the driver's cabs of 315 trucks along 9 routes around the country, in Sulawesi, East Java, North Sumatra, and Nusa Tenggara Timur. In addition to quizzing the truck drivers as they went along, they also carried GPS devices. This meant that when they were stopped they could record the exact position of the stop, what the stop was for and how much the driver had to pay. Little by little they literally pieced together an accurate picture of the problem (click here to view their findings). With the GPS data it was possible to draw maps which highlighted every single charge along the route.
One look at these maps and you can immediately see why the cost of moving goods in Indonesia is so high. Along one route in Sulawesi, trucks were stopped on average of 14 times, so it's not really surprising that the Indonesian trucking industry is high-cost when compared to other countries in Asia.
But what are all these stops for? It depends on where you are in the country. In some places it is for local user charges imposed by local governments; other times it is bribes to the police or criminal organizations; sometimes it is for both legal and illegal payments at weigh stations " in some places you will get all three types of charges! Together they add around 10% to the cost of operating a truck in Indonesia.
But why would local governments charge trucks along the road? This is one of the consequences of Indonesia's Big Bang decentralization. Since 2001, political, administrative and even some fiscal authority has been shifted to over 470 district governments throughout the country. Each of these local governments is keen to raise revenue to supplement the money that they get from the central government. What easier way of doing so than charging trucks as they travel along the road?
There are only two problems with this: it is illegal, and it's a really bad way of raising local revenue. It's illegal because central laws prohibit local governments from creating legislation that inhibits the movement of goods. Nevertheless, some districts take little notice and charge anyway with, so far, little penalty from the centre. And this form of revenue-raising is inefficient, because each district is charging trucks along its roads, without taking into account the fact that other districts are doing the same. It's a classic tragedy of the commons " local governments are "˜overgrazing' the field, damaging everyone including themselves. The result is very little revenue for the local governments but very high costs for the trucking industry. Almost half of the on-road charges in the Foundation/LPEM study were from user charges from local governments.
And then of course there are the police. Truck drivers and transportation firms make many payments to the police and to local thugs at checkpoints along their routes. For example, a typical truck going from Mamuju to Pare Pare in Sulawesi is stopped 10 times just by the police. These stops generally serve no function other than extracting bribes from transportation firms. In North Sumatra and also in East Java, this challenge has led many firms to pay routine payments to "security organizations" to avoid being stopped along the road. Quite often there are links between these organizations and the police or the army. Trucks even put a sticker on their truck to show that they have paid their subscription. As Dr. Arianto Patunru from LPEM pointed out, these look a bit like automobile association stickers, except that the only service being offered is NOT being hassled by the very people who sold you the sticker.
Indonesia's poor infrastructure is another factor impeding the domestic trucking industry. Approximately 70 percent of freight in Indonesia is transported by trucks, and therefore the road system is critical. But a recent World Bank study shows that, at the district level, only 49 percent of district roads in Indonesia are in reasonable condition. Poor infrastructure increases maintenance and fuel consumption costs, narrowing the profit margins of Indonesian business owners.
One of the reasons that the roads are in such bad condition is because of the widespread practice of overloading trucks. Although weigh stations are required by law, truck drivers simply get around them by paying a non-compliance fee to the local officials manning the weigh stations.
More than half of the trucks that we surveyed were overweight. And not just by a small amount " the average amount overweight was 45%. That means a typical truck designed to carry 8 tons was actually carrying 12 tons or more.
Weighbridges, ironically, are one of the few stops on the road that do serve a real purpose. Yet the study estimates that only around 10% of overweight trucks are actually getting fined for being overweight. At the same time 84% of truck drivers pay "additional payments" at weigh stations " in short, you bribe your way around the fine.
What can be done to the make the situation better? Several things. First, the government must address the regulatory confusion at national and local levels. Unnecessary route permits and charges for crossing district borders should be prohibited. Local governments should address and eliminate unnecessary transportation user charges. This will involve using new approaches, such as Regulatory Impact Assessments, to support provincial governments' ability to analyze, revise and monitor regulations related to regional truck transportation.
Another strategy is through a transparency campaign. Provincial governments should post legal charges and permits, and their costs, along the roads, and combine these efforts with Public Service Announcements (PSAs) on local TV station and radio stations. At the moment, many truck drivers have no idea whether the charges that they pay are legal or illegal.
Third, alternative incentive mechanisms must be put in place for the police to eliminate their reliance on road charges and checkpoints. This is probably the toughest one, as it will require real leadership from the police themselves, especially at the provincial and national level.
By contrast, efforts to improve the weigh station system are already underway. The Ministry of Transportation is trying to implement a "zero tolerance" policy for overweight trucks by improving monitoring and enforcement of weight limits.
Will anything really change? We are cautiously optimistic. There are many obstacles to making progress and many people argue that the system is so ingrained it is impossible to change. But everyone said that about reducing corruption in business licensing too, but there have been dramatic improvements in reducing corruption there, so change is possible. The key is getting a coalition that really wants to see change and helping them to work together to find the most effective ways of pushing through the needed reforms.

Tiny House Living Gets Mainstream Exposure [Video]

Michael Pollan: Don't Eat Anything Advertised on TV (Video)

This video is the most bizarre way to say "respect nature" and "live and let live." Personally I hate bugs, they creep me out.

Croud Funded Ad to Combat the Oil Lobby
Avaaz.org has created this clever spoof of those Exxon Greenwashing commercials that have been running on TV for the last few months. The ad has the tone and look and feel of the Exxon campaign but the actor in the ad is urging people to stay complacent and allow them to derail any meaningful climate policy. Their goal is to raise $100,000 so they can air it on CNN during the Climate Summit in Washington this week. As I am writing this post they are up to $92,289, less than $8,000 to go!

TRURO - If Stephen Harper comes to Colchester County this week it would be his first visit to the region as the prime minister.
Harper comes to the federal riding of Cumberland Colchester Musquodoboit Valley during many of his trips to Nova Scotia, as the Stanfield International Airport is included in the riding.
Harper has been in the riding before he became prime minister in February 2006.
He helped kick off the Halifax County Exhibition in 2005 with Colchester-Musquodoboit Valley MLA Brooke Taylor.
His last visit to Truro was in 2004 as the leader of the Conservative Party of Canada to speak during a Truro and District Chamber of Commerce luncheon.
Harpers visit would be his first to region as PM

(assuming that the numbers were valid) i have checked the nutrient level of my diet and found it lacking in a couple minerals. until i investigated the WHO figures and how they more intelligently came to their numbers. and no, i am not accepting assignments from you at this time. btw, one can get excess nutrients and suffer disease. and using software doesn't necessarily mean anything as the food we actually eat may be far different nutritionally from the usda averages, either higher or lower.

2011-12: Junior
Mary Weatherholt solidified herself as one of the top players in Nebraska history in 2011-12. The redshirt junior from Prairie Village, Kan., finished with a 30-11 singles record on the year, and her 30 wins were tied for second on NU's single-season list, trailing only her 36 wins as a freshman in 2008-09. The Big Ten Player of the Year and a unanimous first-team All-Big Ten selection, Weatherholt earned her first trip to the 2012 NCAA Women's Singles Championship as an at-large selection.
Weatherholt went 10-1 at the No. 1 spot in Big Ten action with her only loss coming in a 6-2, 6-2 setback to Michigan's No. 11 Emina Bektas on April 13 in Lincoln. Weatherholt ended her junior season with a 6-4, 7-5 loss to California All-American Zsofi Susanyi in the first round of the NCAA Singles Championship.
Weatherholt finished her junior season ranked No. 49 in the ITA singles rankings, and she also produced 26 doubles victories. Her 56 combined singles and doubles wins established a Nebraska record, breaking Doneta Holman's mark of 51 in 1989-90. She has climbed to No. 2 in Nebraska history with 93 career singles wins in just over three seasons, trailing only Sandra Noetzel's school-record 101 victories (1996-2000). Weatherholt's 93-22 career record (.809) ranks as the top winning percentage in school history, nearly 100 points higher than No. 2 Nancy Tyggum (.729, 1987-90).
Weatherholt has added a 62-22 career doubles mark and her 156 career combined wins ranks No. 3 in school history. She posted a 26-6 doubles record in 2011-12, including an 8-3 Big Ten mark paired with Patricia Veresova at No. 2. The duo's only Big Ten losses came to Ohio State, Purdue and Michigan.
An outstanding student, Weatherholt carries nearly a 3.9 GPA as a business administration major at Nebraska. She was an academic All-Big Ten selection, and she was honored as the ITA Central Region Arthur Ashe Leadership & Sportsmanship Award winner. She was also Nebraska's winner of a 2012 Big Ten Sportsmanship Award for women's tennis.
2011-12: Redshirt
Weatherholt suffered a knee injury early in the fall season and took a redshirt season. She earned spots on the Big 12 Commissioner's Honor Roll in both the fall and spring semesters, and she earned a Nebraska Student-Athlete HERO Leadership Award for her contributions in the community.
2009-10: Sophomore
Weatherholt continued her assault on the Nebraska record book by rolling to a 26-6 record as a sophomore. Her .812 winning percentage placed her No. 5 on the Nebraska single-season list. She also climbed to No. 1 in career singles winning percentage (.861) with a 62-10 mark through her first two seasons at Nebraska.
Weatherholt played the season exclusively at the No. 1 or 2 positions, capturing 20 singles wins in the spring. At the end of the season, Weatherholt was named the the All-Big 12 Singles Team for the second consecutive year.
Weatherholt also had a stellar season in doubles, where she played much of the season at the No. 3 position with Jennifer Holmberg. The duo's 13 wins were second-best on the team, and their 9-1 Big 12 mark led the squad. In April, Weatherholt and Holmberg captured the Big 12 No. 3 doubles championship.
Weatherholt also found success in the classroom in 2009-10, earning first-team academic All-Big 12 honors, while claiming spots on the Big 12 Commissioner's Honor Roll in the fall and spring semesters.
2008-09: Freshman
Weatherholt turned in one of the best individual seasons in Nebraska history as a freshman in 2008-09. She started her season with a bang, winning a pair of fall tournaments, including the singles title at the Midland Invitational, on her way to a 16-2 fall singles record. Weatherholt carried her fantastic fall into the beginning of the spring season. She won her first 11 singles matches, the first 10 of those in straight sets.
Weatherholt suffered her only two losses of the spring season after her 11-0 start, falling to Baylor's Jelena Stanivuk and Texas A&M's Morgan Frank. Weatherholt rallied to win her final nine matches of the season, giving her a 20-2 spring singles record. She capped the season by being named Big 12 Freshman of the Year and also earned a spot on the All-Big 12 singles team. Weatherholt's singles record of 36-4 set the NU single-season record for singles wins, bettering the previous record of 30 that Sandra Noetzel set back in the 1998-99 season. Her 50 combined wins on the season ranked second all-time at NU, falling one short of Doneta Holmen's record of 51 wins set in 1989-90.
Off the court, she earned spots on the Big 12 Commissioner's Honor Roll in both the fall and spring semesters.
Before Nebraska
Weatherholt was the top-ranked player in the state of Kansas after playing her high school tennis at Shawnee Mission South. She was the 2006 Class 6A singles champion and was ranked as high as No. 28 in the nation in the 18-and-under division. Weatherholt is the highest-ranked American-born player to ever play tennis at Nebraska.
Mary was born on Aug. 2, 1991, in Kansas City, Mo. She is the daughter of Nancy Weatherholt and Reynold Simpson. Mary has two brothers, Rob Simpson and Will Simpson. A business administration major, Weatherholt earned academic All-Big Ten honors and earned the ITA Central Region Arthur Ashe Jr. Leadership & Sportsmanship Award in 2012. She claimed first-team academic All-Big 12 honors in 2010. She is also six-time member of the Big 12 Commissioner's Honor Roll.

Monday, July 10, 2006Hot weather and vineyard update.
The Bay Area is having another record breaking hot day today. If this were 2004 or 2005, I would be worried but with the late start of the growing season, the hot weather is probably a good thing.
We have visited all of our vineyards over the last three weekends. Some notes and links:
Now off to the pool to cool down with my daughter. |

Three Reasons Why I'm Rooting For Google+ To Fail
In all fairness, you'd have to call Google+ a success already.
The numbers are still a little iffy, but at a minimum, it looks like they've reached the 10 million user mark for a service that only debuted on June 28.
That's good news for Google, but bad news for me, because despite the fact I feel obligated to have an account, I really don't like Google+.
Well, first off, Google is already so huge that you could make a great case that it should be broken up as a monopoly. Now we're going to add another massive piece to an empire that's already grown too big?
Furthermore, given the non-stop criticism that's been aimed at Facebook for not sufficiently protecting its users privacy, it's extremely ironic that Google is supposed to be the big alternative.
This is a company that SCANS everything you do on their network and feeds it into personalized ads. They also have a CEO who has essentially said that he doesn't think Google users have a right to any kind of privacy at all.
Google CEO Eric Schmidt is the latest Silicon Valley CEO to draw ire after suggesting that folks seeking privacy might not want to look to the Internet to find it. … Schmidt said, appearing on CNBC … "If you have something that you don't want anyone to know, maybe you shouldn't be doing it in the first place."
This guy now has access to all the data you have on Google+.
Last but not least, there's a fairly selfish reason that I don't like Google+: It's just one more social network that I feel compelled to be on — and despite the fact that it's shiny and new, it really doesn't add much.
When I look at Google+, this is what I see:
In other words, it's a nicer, more user friendly MySpace. The real problem with Myspace, when you got right down to it, was that there wasn't any reason for its existence. Facebook worked better and so, Myspace started to decline.
Well, right out of the box, I have to say that Google+ has the same problem. There's no compelling reason for it to exist. Sure, people seem to be really impressed by the "circles," but Facebook already has lists that basically do the same thing and as far I can tell, almost no one seems to use 'em.
Google+ does have one really nifty feature, Hangouts, which are video chats — but, so far at least, most people seem to be interested in using those because of the novelty of it, as opposed to it being a killer feature that people would go to Google+ just to use.
So, why use Google+ at all? Because it's a new social network, run by Google, that people expect to take off. Maybe that'll be enough to make it a huge success. After all, look at Linkedin, which has 100 million+ users, despite being almost useless. That being said, I'm still futilely rooting for Google+ to fail, if only because it'll save me 15 minutes a day to be used on more productive pursuits.
